Temple Of Art by Allan Amato

Since early 2012, Allan Amato has been photographing fine artists + inviting them to interpret those portraits through their particular medium. As a full-time photographer, Amato engages in a daily meditation on art as a spiritual + alchemical practice that nevertheless demands relentless hustle + a pathological immunity to rejection. During the shoots he found himself asking the artists about their processes + motivations + drawing comparisons with his own approach to photography + portraiture. Temple of Art is a collection of those collaborative art works + musings that provides an insightful look into the lives of some of our favorite working artists. Signed by the author + a number of the artists from the book. Hardcover. 232 pages.
